(See "Sketch of Andrew Millar, " ante, pp. 17, 18. ) In 1748 Mr. Dodsley brought out his "Pre- ceptor " : " One of the most valuable books for the improvement of young minds, " says Boswell, "that has appeared in any language. " To this meritorious work Johnson furnished " The Pre- face, " containing a general sketch of the book with a short and perspicuous recommendation of each article.
In 1751 Dodsley published the first edition (separately) of Gray's " Elegy. " This year Dodsley brought out... Johnson's 80 SKETCHES OF BOOKSELLERS " Vanity of Human Wishes, " for which Johnson seems to have received fifteen guineas for the right to issue one edition.
In 1749 Dodsley brought out "Irene, " for which he paid Dr. Johnson one hundred pounds for the copy, with his usual reservation of the right of one edition. The play ran for nine nights, but mainly, it is said, through Garrick's acting. It is pleasant to learn, however, that Johnson cleared in all nearly three hundred pounds.
Mr. Boswell mentions, with reference to John- son's celebrated Letter to Lord Chesterfield, that Dodsley, " with the true feelings of trade, said he was very sorry he had written it for that he had a property in the Dictionary, to which his Lordship's patronage might have been of consequence.
